FAQ
CPI to MIF Conversion
What are CPI files?
The CPI extension is attached to vector files created using Calamus, a piece of desktop publishing software released in the late 1980s. Calamus was designed for the Atari ST, which was an innovative brand of home computers at the time, and was one of the first vector handling programs to include its own proprietary vector formats, as well as support virtual objects and frames. Since its release, Calamus had several subsequent upgrades and its latest version is Calamus SL2006.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
